pillows

I finished the triangle pillow! And I LOVE IT! The tutorial for the triangle blocks is here. The inspiration for the pillow is here.

I turned my dresden into a pillow, too. I had to add some patchwork to two of the sides to make it bigger. And then I added a few strips to the two remaining sides to make it (almost) square...and then I had to stop myself. :) I love how they BOTH turned out. I think I need to make a few more!

I love your dresden. Could you do a tutorial on how to make them. I have a quilt that I want to add some of these to, but it is intimidating to me. You are so amazing that I think I could follow your instructions. I am so happy you didn't quit blogging for long. Love your blog! ;)

I like the fabrics best in the dresden plates one, but I love those triangles! When you did the tutorial I thought it was too time-consuming. But I will have to try now! =) (Would you recommend paper-piecing with fabric so you don't have to tear it out?

Oh yea, love em! Such a cool way to use scraps. I'm still looking forward to trying some of those triangles with my snippets bin. Love the way you bordered your dresden with the natural color and strips. I bet these bring wonderful splashes of color to your rooms!

FAB-U-LOUS!! Luv your pillows and thank you so much for your triangle tutorial. If I stare at that pillow long enough do you think it'll materialise in my house? No! Guess I'd better make my own then. Thanks again....

I once made quilt square pillows to sell in a craft shop. No one bought them. I think you have to charge so much for them, which includes your materials as well as your time, that the price is prohibitive to most people. BUT we quilters can make and enjoy them! Yours are pretty.

You are one crazy mom! All those triangles! I do like your version better than your inspiration. Better colors? Or is it that your tris are all going in one direction and it's easier on the eye? Whatever the reason, Good Job! I want to try that.
